Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 78

Hong Chengchou planned tomorrow's siege.

In Ganquan County, many people gathered.

The box was opened, revealing a glistening silver all at once.

Who doesn't like silver?
"The captain said that today's pay is two liang per soldier per month, and the superiors and craftsmen will be paid separately.

After receiving the payment, press your fingerprints under your name, and those who can write your own name will write your name. "

Dang Shousu stood aside and announced to the crowd.

Everyone exploded in an instant.

Some old pawns have indifferent expressions, because this is not the first time for them.

If it weren't for the team leader who asked him to collect the money himself and not allow others to fake it, many people would not have come to line up.

They watched people gather in twos and threes, laughing at people who had never seen the world.

Follow He Jinzhao, won't the good days come soon?

From childhood to adulthood, they have never been so happy, or let people look up to them!
Even if you are in danger of losing your life, but you are not the emperor, what capital do you have left besides working hard?
The soldier who received the silver for the first time, his face was full of excitement, and his whole body was full of yearning.

He Jinzhao stood at the table and paid wages to his own people so as not to avoid deductions. At the same time, he encouraged everyone to work hard so that there would still be money to spend in the future.

Under his suggestion, for married soldiers, He Jinzhao said with a smile to show his mother-in-law, don't mess around.

The soldiers responded happily.

The days are getting better and better, and it will be great if my mother-in-law and aunt give birth to a fat boy in the future.

It is quite normal for Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers to eat empty pay.

5 people can eat 3 to [-] empty wages, and it may be a fraction of the original wages under the hands of soldiers.

Originally, everyone followed He Jinzhao to rebel and seek a way out because they couldn't live without enough to eat.

As a result, not only can they have enough to eat now, some people have married wives, and they are paid funeral expenses when they die, and they can receive salary when they are alive.

Even the officers and soldiers can't do the first job among the rebels.

Look around and inquire, it's the only one in Daming.

There are no other requirements except that there are many rules.

For example, even on holidays, the army is not allowed to gamble, let alone engage in radical activities in the army, and offenders will be severely punished.

He Jinzhao realized that he had underestimated the power of masculinity. There was a duck shop next to the brothel in the county seat, and most of the customers were men.

So some things have to be guarded against, affecting morale.

Moving.

The captain is too righteous, everyone follows him!

Those newly defected soldiers of the guard looked enviously at others receiving money, it had been a long time since they saw their pay!

Take the Qi family army as an example, about 10 taels of silver per year, and after being transferred to Jizhou Junzhen, it rose to 18 taels of silver per year.

These are the recruitment prices in places where wars frequently occur, and the recruitment prices in other areas are lower.

These guard soldiers get 4 taels of silver a year, which is regarded as Shangguan's eyesight.

As a result, when they were even more envious, they all surrendered at the same time, and each of the gunners received two taels of silver.

As soon as these smiling people returned to the team, they immediately aroused the envy of everyone.

Obviously they came together, why did he walk ahead!

"The captain said, he relies on his ability to make a living."

Gunner Zhou Da held his arms, his face full of complacency.

"That's it."

In the past, these gunners were all low-level existences, but when they came to He Jinzhao's place, they became popular instead.

Especially the servants of the generals, they all receive double pay!

Where did the double pay come from?

It is not by deducting the wages of most people to support a few people.

"Old Wu, how much did you get?"

An old man was a little excited and revealed a tael of silver. He worked as a craftsman in Daming, and he didn't get half a tael of silver a year.

"My mother, why!"

"The captain said that there are fewer people making weapons in the army, so they give more." Old Wu quickly put the money in his arms:
"I'm going to the artisan camp, and I'm going to work with the captain's brother-in-law.

You work hard, and when you get promoted or make meritorious service, you will definitely be paid more than me. "

With these two examples of low-level soldiers in the past, the senses of those guard soldiers changed directly.

This is real money, it's not that the Shangguan showed mercy and seized a lot of money that was originally yours before giving it to you.

"No, I have to follow He Jinzhao." One of the guards clenched his fists and said:
"Why are all the money given to those servants? They eat, drink, dress, and dress well. We can't even eat enough."

"Yes, where is it not for dinner!"

The guard next to him said, "I turned against the court and owed me so much money."

After paying the salary, the morale of He Jinzhao's subordinates became stronger.

Now that the guards have been digested, the strength has approached 9000, and it is still known as 1 to the outside world.

At the scene, many people got money and knelt down to He Jinzhao, saying that this life was his.

The luck of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty was really not good. Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there have been disasters in 270 and 160 years.

Not only that, in the 34th year of Jiajing, when the earthquake occurred, 80 people in Shaanxi were killed or injured.

Followed by the Mongolian invasion, they looted Ningxia and Xi'an many times.

Under such conditions, the land in Shaanxi became more and more barren, but the people here had to bear the military food supply for one-fifth of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

The most onerous thing is to support the descendants of the Ming Dynasty vassal kings.

During the Wanli period, the royal population had multiplied to 5 people, divided into eight classes.The first class is the prince, and then the eighth class is Feng Guo Lieutenant.

Today, there are six households in the Prince's Mansion in Shaanxi, namely King Qin, King Rui, King Su, King Han, King Zheng, and King Qing.

This is still a first-class prince. As for the second- to eighth-class royal family members, there are many households, and they must be regarded as princesses with honorable titles.

Bureaucratic landlords, land owned by Juren.

With the pressure of the above-mentioned mountains, the people of Shaanxi have very little arable land, and the good land belongs to the vassal kings and big families.

The second field fell into the mouths of the people, and the food grown was not enough to eat.

If these people don't rebel, they will die!

A little spark can explode!
It's not that He Jinzhao's eloquence is so good, he just followed the general trend and did some things that normal people do, so he was supported by many people.

He Jinzhao not only gave them hope to survive, but also gave them the motivation to move forward in the future.

That would make them follow even more to the death.

Shaanxi's military strength is very sufficient on the books, after all, it has to face the invading Mongols outside the pass.

In the eight prefectures of Shaanxi, there are [-] guards and [-] Zhili offices.

Each guard has about 6000 people.

Of course, the number of guards cannot be full. Most of the guards captured by He Jinchao spontaneously came from Yan'an Guard, Xi'an Guard, Qingyang Guard, Guyuan Guard, Ningxia Guard, Ningxia Zhongwei, Ningxia Zhongtun Guard, and Yulin Guard. guard.

"Grass."

He Jinzhao was lying on the bed, exhausted all over.

Distributing money on the spot is really tiring, especially when you have to say a few words.

Some people are receiving money for the first time, and he doesn't intend to give it to others.

But he was somewhat satisfied, this was his team to conquer the world in the future.

　Thanks to Wu Zhifeng and my village's first 100 taels of silver for their sponsorship, Captain He will be successful in the future, and the benefits of the two of you must be indispensable.
